[0:22]Saychech.

[0:29]Oh, no.

[0:53][Applause] Abdillahan.

[0:58]Amen.

[1:31]00.

[1:57]Amen.

[2:08][Music] Alhamdulillah.

[2:28]Alhamdulillah.

[2:47]I'm about [Music] Allah.

[3:13]A second salawat in honor of the holy prophet and his blessed

[3:19]progeny Allah.

[3:24]And the third with your loudest of voices for the hastening of

[3:30]the reappearance of the imam of our time.

[3:37]Dear brothers and sisters, salam allaykum.

[3:43]One of the special positions that we have been given as the

[3:51]lovers of Allah.

[3:52]We have many narrations that talk about the lovers of that talk

[3:58]about the inshallah we want to look towards that tonight and re-evaluate

[4:04]our position as the Shia.

[4:05]What does it mean for me to be a Shia?

[4:08]Because today we live in a world where a lot of people

[4:14]will question it.

[4:13]A lot of people will try to attack it.

[4:16]And we live at a time where everyone feels comfortable saying whatever

[4:23]they wish.

[4:23]Whether it be misinformation, whether it be accurate, people don't care anymore.

[4:29]As a result of people not caring, we see many people lie

[4:35]about or they lie about us as the Shia as lovers of.

[4:39]So we want to look into that and try to understand it

[4:43]a bit better.

[4:44]What does it mean to be a true lover and what does

[4:49]it entail?

[4:51]How should my actions reflect that love of Ali?

[4:54]So inshallah let's look into that tonight with your loudest of salawat.

[5:02][Music] Out of all of the companions of the holy prophets, there

[5:09]were only four who were considered the true Shia of Imam.

[5:15]When you look into it, us as Shia, it's really important to

[5:21]note many people they might slander us and say that we have

[5:24]no love for any of the companions.

[5:26]On the contrary, we do have love for the companions, but not

[5:32]based on this misunderstanding of who they are.

[5:35]If they were true lovers of the holy prophet and they were

[5:40]true lovers of the then why should I not love them?

[5:47]Who are these people?

[5:46]These people are this was a lover of mdad.

[5:51]This was a lover of Imam Salman als for example are true

[6:04]lovers of the Bates.

[6:04]How did we choose them?

[6:07]Did we just randomly as they say pick a name out of

[6:09]the hat and we decided you know okay we're going to be

[6:12]we're going to like this Sah we're not going to like that

[6:13]Sahara.

[6:14]So I want to look into that tonight.

[6:16]How can we be like those people?

[6:18]How can we be like Abu Dhaba?

[6:20]How can we be like Salman?

[6:23]How can we be like Mdad?

[6:24]How can we be like these followers of the Bates?

[6:28]They were known as true Shia to Ali during a time where

[6:31]it was not popular.

[6:33]It was not a stance to hold.

[6:34]For being a Shia during that time was very different.

[6:38]It means to have aligned yourself and against those who were going

[6:42]to oppress them and it doesn't exist in our books.

[6:45]I want to give you two important books that show you about

[6:49]the love of Imam.

[6:49]One of them is from Hajnah was one of the scholars who's

[6:58]very famous within the Sunni circles and he's one of those scholars

[7:01]that had existed during that time and he wrote a very famous

[7:04]book.

[7:05]He he wrote this book and in this book it's called you

[7:11]can get you can find it today if you try to research

[7:14]it you'll find there is a narration that exists within this book.

[7:18]What does it say?

[7:40]Ali Allah has forgiven you.

[7:46]Allah has forgiven your family, your sh and the lovers of your

[7:50]this exists in one of the books.

[7:53]Now let's look towards another book.

[7:59]We have Suyuti.

[7:57]Now Suyuti is a very famous Sunni scholar that existed 500 years

[8:02]ago.

[8:03]He lived during that time and he was a very famous uh

[8:07]scholar.

[8:08]He was within those circles and he was very very respected within

[8:14]those circles.

[8:14]There is a tap that he does about this specific verse.

[8:19]He says in this verse that I recite at the beginning, he

[8:29]says those who do who believe and then they act based on

[8:33]that belief, they do great, they are the best of creation.

[8:39]So those who believe those who people who believe and they do

[8:46]good they are what they are the best of creations.

[8:54]What is the for this whenas?

[8:55]He received this he received this verse from Allah subhana wa ta'ala.

[9:00]What did he say during that time?

[9:02]Let's look at this hadith.

[9:03]He he points towards Ali.

[9:03]He says what this is about you and your this is about

[9:11]you and those who follow you.

[9:12]So we're not talking about our own books here.

[9:16]We're talking about the books of our brothers and as a result

[9:21]we can understand that it's not something that we've created.

[9:24]This love for it's something that has existed and there's always been

[9:31]that position of those who are Ali.

[9:34]So we need to try to emulate ourselves to bear to be

[9:40]but being a follower is what sometimes we see that for example

[9:47]I have a on my neck sometimes I will tattoo a name

[9:53]or a hadith of one of the on my arm are these

[9:55]ways that we can show ourselves as sh is that enough for

[10:01]us of course it's obvious the answer is no we can understand

[10:04]that there are those who call themselves Shia.

[10:08]We can understand that that is something that resembles someone who is

[10:12]a Shia but it's not the fact that we just have symbols

[10:17]on us to show that it has to be through our actions.

[10:23]We have to show it because just the fact that we ourselves

[10:26]we say that we're Shia it's not very easy to do so.

[10:32]There's a very famous narration you know from the holy prophet.

[10:36]He says to Amar, he says what?

[10:43]He says, "If you see Ali," he takes a valley.

[10:46]And then you see that every single other person is going to

[10:52]another valley.

[10:51]They're going to a different.

[10:56]He says, "What?

[10:55]Follow the valley of for this will never lead you to destruction,

[11:02]nor does it take you out of guidance." No matter what it

[11:05]is, when we know this person is hi and why would I

[11:10]go wrong when I follow the path of Im Ali?

[11:13]Why would I go wrong?

[11:16]Why would I be taken in a misguided direction if I follow

[11:20]Imam when the holy prophet says in that manner?

[11:25]But that's not the only hadith.

[11:26]As it continues, he says what he said continues and he says

[11:32]pay attention to this point.

[11:33]We're all lovers of Ali and we've also followed this.

[11:37]But pay attention to this point.

[11:39]He says what?

[11:38]He continues, "Whoever gears a sword and he helps Im Ali against

[11:45]his enemies, Allah will adorn him with two sashes of pearls on

[11:48]the day of judgment.

[11:51]And whoever supports the enemies of Ali, Allah will adorn him with

[11:56]two sashes of fire on the day of judgment.

[12:05]It's important we pay attention to this important point here.

[12:10]My actions have to reflect my character.

[12:14]When I say that I am a lover of someone, it has

[12:20]to be reflected on my action.

[12:23]You can't just say you love someone and then your actions don't

[12:26]reflect that.

[12:27]Right?

[12:26]It's very simple.

[12:28]You say he is my friend and then whenever you see you

[12:30]don't act friendly towards him.

[12:35]It's quite obvious that we have to try to follow that in

[12:38]our actions.

[12:40]So when we say that we look at one of the verses

[12:45]of the holy prophet of the Quran what does he say?

[12:46]The holy prophet he's done so much for the members of his

[12:51]community.

[12:50]He's done so much to spread the religion of Islam.

[12:53]They say how can we give back to you oh holy prophets.

[12:57]How can we give you for so much that you've given us?

[13:01]He says Allah subhana wa ta'ala brings this verse down.

[13:03]He says, he says, "Say, oh prophet, I don't ask from you

[13:16]anything except what?

[13:15]The love for my progeny, the love for those who are near

[13:21]to me." It's that love that is not just hope.

[13:24]He doesn't say He says ma, pay close attention to this point.

[13:29]Ma is a love that is also carried with action.

[13:35]Ma is for you to show that love in the best of

[13:40]ways.

[13:41]So when we love our we don't go against the actions of

[13:48]our says to do this.

[13:49]We don't do something else.

[13:51]Whenam they tell us to avoid this.

[13:57]We avoid it.

[13:56]This is this is not this is hope is different.

[14:00]Hope is just to say I love you with your tongue.

[14:04]Right?

[14:05]We looked at that narration at the beginning that people they will

[14:08]have religion on their tongues as a sort of lip service.

[14:13]But when it comes to their actions there are very few who

[14:15]can consider themselves Muslim.

[14:17]So it's important that we pay attention to that point because at

[14:23]the end of the day what is it this is what he

[14:40]says verily my is like Noah's ark he who gets onto it

[14:48]he will survive but he who does not accept this this salvation

[14:52]he does not accept this safina he will drown so we have

[14:59]to pay close attention that when we love Allah we discussed this

[15:03]previously about loving Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and understanding his mercy that

[15:08]love of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala means this for us to love

[15:11]those that he loves now I'm going to point to to a

[15:16]very important narration from Imam.

[15:18]This is called what does it mean?

[15:23]A chain that exists during that time.

[15:25]They had chains where of narration.

[15:26]For example, I would say I had heard from him who heard

[15:31]from him who heard from him.

[15:32]And then we go back to find that narration goes back to

[15:37]the prophets, right?

[15:36]This was called.

[15:39]So when we give a narration, we people would say that I

[15:42]heard from so and so.

[15:43]But this narration is what?

[15:46]It's the golden narration.

[15:47]There's no other narration that is connected in this manner.

[15:51]In what manner?

[15:54]Let me tell you.

[15:54]Alam says Hussein.

[16:11]He said, "I heard him say." He says, "What we're going back

[16:23]from immasoolah says what?" He does not say it.

[16:41]He says this.

[16:43]What?

[16:52]He says the statement is my fortress.

[16:58]Whoever enters into this fortress ofahillah is going to be safe from

[17:05]fire.

[17:06]But then what?

[17:04]He stops and then he says one more sentence.

[17:10]He says, with its conditions.

[17:13]What is he saying?

[17:17]How beautiful is it?

[17:21]He says that you say it's not very simple to just say

[17:25]it.

[17:25]But it has its conditions I am.

[17:31]One of those conditions of one of those conditions to be a

[17:38]true to follow them means to then follow that to enter that

[17:42]fortress of Allah.

[17:45]So we can understand that our actions it has to portray that

[17:49]when I say I'm following our imams my actions should portray following

[17:53]that imam.

[17:55]So as a result when we we respond to others when we

[18:02]act our acts should be according to in line of the character

[18:07]of when we look at the lives of the we see that

[18:10]they have a state of what is clemency a state in which

[18:18]they would never respond to anyone in a bad manner.

[18:20]People would disrespect the people would say very rude things to the

[18:25]just as they did to the holy prophet but they would never

[18:29]respond in such a manner.

[18:30]So we need to take that action and apply it onto ourselves.

[18:35]Imam he says for our he says what to our he says

[18:50]what our followers should be they should be beautifying us they should

[19:00]not disgrace us when you are out when you go anywhere >>

[19:06]and You're representing the represent with them the best of characters.

[19:12]When you're representing the amplify and make your character like a mirror,

[19:20]let's ask everyone to just come forward with your >> There are

[19:29]a few others who are joining us.

[19:30]So, we just want to make space for them.

[19:32]>> If you're going to take anything from this discussion today, this

[19:40]lecture today, it's what?

[19:43]Don't disgrace the B with your action.

[19:46]We see sometimes people they'll say they're the lovers of B and

[19:52]then they'll do something that embarrasses our school.

[19:54]There are many who do so.

[19:58]Their actions cause people to move away from that.

[20:02]their actions cause people to move away from Islam.

[20:06]Is that the kind of character that we should have?

[20:10]Of course not.

[20:12]With every single charact with every single characteristics that we show, it

[20:16]should always be the best sort of characteristic, right?

[20:18]When we hear a lot of people they become Muslim for example

[20:22]or they become Shia for example.

[20:25]Why is it so?

[20:28]It's often when you hear their story they say I had a

[20:33]friend I had a coworker I had someone who was Muslim and

[20:36]when I saw his characteristic I asked him about it more it's

[20:42]not for example that they would have told him certain things that

[20:47]would have changed his characteristics they would have seen that that Muslim

[20:52]that person who is a lover of Allah his character was amazing

[20:55]so then he asks What is it that makes his character so?

[20:58]Why is he acting in that manner?

[21:02]And then they delve into it deeper.

[21:04]Then it's as a result of that person's actions that someone who

[21:08]is non-Muslim will search Islam.

[21:09]Let our characteristics be the best of characteristics.

[21:13]Let us show ourselves in the best of manners to be able

[21:21]to amplify that image to adorn the to make their character beautiful

[21:25]as well.

[21:24]That's what it means when we say so now it's important to

[21:32]ask a question here.

[21:32]How do we respond to those who will slander us?

[21:37]Many times when you go online you'll find that there are it's

[21:42]it's happened a lot especially there's there been this push more recently

[21:47]for those who will for example slander the names of the Shia.

[21:52]So how should we act towards that?

[21:57]When I go on for example Twitter or X now they call

[21:59]it or when I go on Instagram and then I see in

[22:02]the comments that people will say certain things what is it that

[22:05]I need to do?

[22:08]Well first of all if someone is willing to listen we build

[22:10]dialogue.

[22:12]So when I discuss tonight and I'm discussing about this understanding who

[22:17]we are as Shia it's not to divide ourselves.

[22:21]We will never divide ourselves as one Muslim.

[22:24]We love our brothers and right and we show that in our

[22:30]characteristics like we said and if someone is interested to know more

[22:34]we build dialogue.

[22:35]It's through that dialogue that we can connect they understand our beliefs

[22:41]and we understand their beliefs.

[22:42]But that doesn't happen often.

[22:46]often time what what oftentimes what happens those who are on the

[22:50]internet they go ahead and they'll type whatever they want right and

[22:54]as a result they'll never listen to you and it's it's uh

[22:57]it's their goal to for example to just spread whatever ideology they

[23:03]have when it you see that someone his goal is not to

[23:06]understand his goal is not to listen to you and understand your

[23:11]points what does the Quran say not from me from Allah subhanaa

[23:18]Then those true servants when they walk on the earth truly humble

[23:28]pay close attention to this point.

[23:34]When our people, our servants, our humble servants, they walk on this

[23:40]earth and they speak to aah and the jah they address them

[23:44]foolishly, improperly.

[23:46]What do they say?

[23:47]Say salam to them.

[23:51]That's enough.

[23:51]We don't need to get continue this continue this thread and continue

[23:56]to you know you say something about him and then he'll slander

[23:59]you and you try to talk to him.

[24:01]One of the no one of the things you guys want need

[24:04]to pay a close attention to everyone needs to pay close attention

[24:10]to is this no one will ever go will leave a debate

[24:12]a Twitter debate where they are for example slandering each other and

[24:17]say what you know what that was a good discussion I'm going

[24:21]to go home now and I I think I understood my opponent's

[24:23]points and I accepted they were good points they're not it's not

[24:30]going to happen it's not a place to discuss.

[24:32]It's not worthy of us to bring ourselves down to do something

[24:39]like that.

[24:44]When anyone tries to do anything to you, when anyone tries to

[24:48]say something like that to you, just say salam to them because

[24:54]we don't want to leave resentment either in our hearts or within

[24:58]their hearts.

[24:59]Just leave it at that.

[25:00]just say salam and move on.

[25:01]And this is our way for us to show our character to

[25:06]just say that if you want to discuss I'm free to discuss.

[25:09]Let's discuss.

[25:10]But if you do not want to discuss, I'm not going to

[25:15]be here slandering you and you're not going to sit here and

[25:17]slander with me.

[25:19]Let's not waste our time and let's cut it here.

[25:20]So inshallah we should try to make sure that we can view

[25:26]that.

[25:27]Inshallah if you understand that [Music] And as a result, like we

[25:41]said, after all of this, our bottom line is what?

[25:46]Feel proud to be a Shia.

[25:47]Feel proud to hold that title of the lover of Mali Alisam

[25:51]wherever you go.

[25:53]If, as we said, I'm going to bring back our first point

[25:58]on identity.

[25:58]If you feel that you have to hide your beliefs to appease

[26:07]anyone, that's not someone worthy of appeasing.

[26:09]If you have to water down your beliefs, that person is not

[26:19]even worthy of being your friend.

[26:20]So what?

[26:21]So I can be his friend because I want to remove my

[26:25]own value.

[26:26]I want to water down what I believe in.

[26:29]Just so this person accepts accepts me.

[26:32]That person is not that person is not even worth respecting.

[26:37]If he doesn't respect you, don't respect him.

[26:41]It's as simple as that.

[26:43]Don't water down your belief.

[26:44]We are the lovers of theam.

[26:48]We are those who have stood up whenever there has been oppression.

[26:52]Our blood is a blood of ai.

[26:54]Our philosophy is a philosophy of ai.

[26:58]When we come here every month of and we sit in the

[27:04]malice of Abdah Hussein is to renew that to renew that philosophy

[27:08]within our hearts that no matter if anyone were to be oppressed

[27:15]it's my obligation to stand up for them like who like many

[27:21]of you might have heard of his name at first he was

[27:26]a slave and Iam he freed And from then on he became

[27:33]a date seller.

[27:31]So he became a date seller and he was a really close

[27:37]friend of Im Ali Alisam.

[27:37]He loved Im Ali.

[27:40]So every time that I ali would go somewhere to lecture he

[27:44]would be the first person who would be there to listen to

[27:48]him.

[27:48]So as a result of this bond and this kinship this love

[27:52]that they had he says to one day he says what will

[27:58]you do when an evil man is put in power by the

[27:59]mayy and he will call and ask you to do me from

[28:05]me he'll ask you to disassociate from me and then from that

[28:14]moment says what by Allah I shall never disass dissociate myself from

[28:19]you.

[28:19]Imam says in that case you will be killed and you will

[28:26]be hanged by a tree and he replies by Allah in that

[28:28]moment I shall be patient that is not much in the way

[28:34]of Allah subhana wa ta'ala later on after this he passes away

[28:39]and just before the ends the mo the event of we see

[28:44]in that time that is summoned because he still shows his love

[28:47]for no matter what And Zad calls him.

[28:51]He's the tyrant of Kufa and he's been put in power by

[28:56]Muay Zad.

[28:57]He tells Mamm he's tell he as because he is a lover

[29:01]I alam as the imam had predicted ordered to do what to

[29:08]do.

[29:08]He says speak evil from about him.

[29:10]I don't like the fact that you're in Kufa and you're talking

[29:13]great about Im Ali.

[29:16]You're talking about your love of Im Ali.

[29:19]So just as the IM predicted this was this happened in this

[29:23]moment he refused and instead he answered what he answered by praising

[29:29]Im Ali and then what he was then imprisoned was imprisoned because

[29:35]of that praising of Imam and after that when they noticed that

[29:39]prison imprisoning him doesn't work they took him and they tied him

[29:44]to a tree to let him starve and to stay there for

[29:46]days until he dies.

[29:48]So when he went onto that tree, anyone for example would get

[29:55]try to get down, they would say, you know, I disassociate myself

[29:58]from my belief.

[30:01]Just let me survive.

[30:01]He does what?

[30:04]In that moment, he keeps praising Im Ali.

[30:06]He's tied up to that tree and he keeps on talking about

[30:10]Imam's character.

[30:11]He praises him in the manner that they do what it's said

[30:18]in our narrations that zad tells one of his people to cut

[30:21]off his tongues.

[30:24]So he does not praise Imam Ali Alisam Allah we believe that

[30:30]today we are Shia and we there's been zul on us there

[30:36]was no zul like that time of imam during that time people

[30:40]would there would tell people to go on the pulpit and say

[30:45]Im Ali was not a Muslim the sh of Im Aliam They

[30:53]were oppressed in in a way that we not oppressed today.

[30:55]Today we have freedom.

[30:58]But during that time when we look at he was killed in

[31:02]that manner.

[31:04]His tongue was cut and he was killed.

[31:05]That was someone who stood by imi it the disinformation that existed

[31:13]during that time.

[31:15]I want to just put the side note because it just it

[31:19]came up.

[31:19]The this information during the time of Ma it was it reached

[31:25]such a point in which Imam Ali Alisam when he was killed

[31:32]in his salah and people in Sham heard about Imam Ali alam

[31:35]being killed in salah they said what I know Ali prays they

[31:40]said Im Ali does he even pray because of the amount of

[31:47]disinformation that existed because of Ma and the lack And they did

[31:50]on the pulpits.

[31:51]People when they heard that Imi was killed in prayer, they said,

[31:55]"But does Ali even pray?" We have to make sure that we

[32:01]understand that today with the misinformation that exists, not to be lost

[32:06]in that to always no matter what try to look towards.

[32:18]And this love for is not one-sided.

[32:22]The way we the way that I've made it seem it seems

[32:25]in a way that it's all that love that we give to

[32:30]our imams and that's it.

[32:30]We get our sal for loving our im.

[32:34]Listen to this from Imam.

[32:38]He says whatn he has one of this his companions and he

[32:47]speaks to him.

[32:50]This isn't they're having a great oper they're they're discussing they're having

[32:54]a great day and as their conversation ends they get ready to

[32:59]leave and then what he said a line that we always say

[33:03]right whenever you say goodbye to someone you'll say pray for me

[33:10]he smiled and he said back to him he said do you

[33:14]think I forget you in my prayers that you ask me not

[33:19]to forget you.

[33:18]Hassan paused and he was like and he thought to himself he

[33:23]says he prays for his Shia and I'm one of his Shia

[33:25]then of course he's going to pray for me.

[33:27]So he replied to the Imam and he said what?

[33:30]He said no I know you don't forget me.

[33:32]He asks him how do you know I don't forget you?

[33:36]How what makes you so sure that I don't forget you?

[33:40]And Hass he answers he says because I'm one of your SH

[33:42]and you always pray for your Shia the Imam then asks is

[33:47]that all?

[33:48]Is that the only reason that I pray to you oh Hassan?

[33:51]He says Hassan responds yep I think that I think so.

[33:56]That is all.

[33:57]That's the only reason that you pray.

[33:59]Im he said he gives us an important point for all of

[34:01]us to reflect.

[34:03]He says what he says to Hassan, if you want to know

[34:09]what you mean to me, look at what I mean to you.

[34:11]How often do you pray for me?

[34:15]Yah Hassan, know that I pray for you just as much.

[34:16]How often do you think of me?

[34:22]Know that I think of you just as much.

[34:22]How deeply do you care for me?

[34:26]Do you love me and do you follow for my path?

[34:27]Know that I care for you and that I love you and

[34:31]I look at you after you in an equal manner.

[34:34]If you know if you want to know what you mean to

[34:39]me, look into your own heart and see what I mean to

[34:45]you.

[34:41]How beautiful.

[34:43]Imam is telling us that this love isn't one-sided.

[34:49]No matter how much dua you make, how much love you give,

[34:54]how much effort you put towards your relationship with know that they

[34:59]love you all the same.

[34:59]Know that no matter what, as long as you give that amount

[35:04]of effort and love towards them, they love you just as much.

[35:07]So when you say, when you say salams to your im know

[35:12]that it is for them to say that salam back to you.

[35:15]And that's the important point that we need to understand that for

[35:22]us as it's not just having that belief that makes us sh

[35:27]it's that core of what philosophy of what never to disgrace us

[35:35]as we believe that no matter what that our hearts are the

[35:38]hearts of that no matter what if anyone is oppressed anywhere in

[35:44]the world no one else who stand up for him except for

[35:50]us.

[35:47]It is us who stands up because it is our history to

[35:52]stand up when we come here for our malice of Abdah Husseinam.

[35:58]It's that love that we have that brings us here.

[36:00]And it's that needing to renew our oath to Hussein that no

[36:06]matter if anyone were to be oppressed, if anyone were to be

[36:09]bullied, if anyone were to be hurt, it's my obligation as a

[36:16]lover of to stand up for him to stand up for anyone

[36:19]who requires justice.

[36:22]So we commemorate this justice when we come here on the day

[36:27]of judgment.

[36:28]Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says what he'll call every nation with

[36:32]their im Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he says in one of the

[36:36]verses of the Quran he says about he says he is going

[36:45]to lead his people towards the hellfire when on the day of

[36:51]judgment when you're asked by Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who is your

[36:53]imam you should be able to respond that my im is I

[37:00]also I have is our IM.

[37:05]It's important for us to stand up in that moment for us

[37:10]to be able to answer that.

[37:11]It's important for us to always no matter who is the tyrant

[37:13]of our time to understand it.

[37:17]Who is the Yazid of today?

[37:18]I should know who that is.

[37:19]Who is the Hussein of today?

[37:23]Who is it that is fighting for justice today?

[37:27]I should try to support that.

[37:29]And Musam he says what disgrace is far from us.

[37:31]Disgrace is nothing for us.

[37:36]It's completely away.

[37:36]So let's make sure that our actions inshallah are the actions of

[37:41]our imams.

[37:42]Inshallah if it is so reciteham.

[37:45][Music] With that said, there's one more lover of that and we're

[38:02]going to commemorate tonight when we recite.

[38:04]Who is that person?

[38:08]It's none other than Madhab Mad was a very close friend of

[38:16]Hussein.

[38:14]when they were very young would see that Imam Hussein was running

[38:21]and Habib would always run with him.

[38:26]So he called Habib towards him and he would put him on

[38:28]his lap and he would kiss him and he would hug him.

[38:31]Why so?

[38:32]The people asked why is it that you love Habib?

[38:36]Why do you love the son of Mad?

[38:39]He says what?

[38:38]He says when I see Imran Hussein Habib is always running after

[38:45]them.

[38:46]When Imam Hussein walks the dust on his feet, he will put

[38:49]it on his head.

[38:50]And I know that one day Habib will help Hussein when he

[38:56]is in need of that help.

[38:56]This is the story of the love of Habib for Abdah.

[39:03]This is the story of someone who remembers Im Hussein and who

[39:09]fought for him simply because his love towards him simply because he

[39:14]was a sh of him.

[39:14]He fought for Imam Hussein.

[39:18]So day by day we see that the scene in Kabala it

[39:21]changes more and more soldiers are now entering into Kobala and entering

[39:26]into the army's camp and there have been thousands that gather to

[39:34]kill and she says to her brother she says Hussein thousands of

[39:39]soldiers they're gathering to fight you we hardly have 72 men with

[39:42]us do not have anyone else who can help who will come

[39:46]here to help and then Hussein And he says, "What?

[39:50]My sister Zab, many wanted to join me during that journey when

[39:54]I went from Medina to Kufa.

[39:55]I politely discouraged them because their intention wasn't truthful.

[39:58]Many joined and they've run away during that journey because they're afraid

[40:02]of dying." And then he continues, "Falsehood gidden by many supporters, but

[40:09]truth has only few friends.

[40:12]The soldiers on the other side have been bought.

[40:14]They prefer the happiness of this world instead of that of the

[40:17]hereafter.

[40:18]But my 72 truthful men, they prefer happiness in the hereafter instead

[40:23]of that of this world.

[40:26]And that's why they are with me.

[40:29]And that nightm he writes a letter.

[40:31]He writes a letter to who?

[40:33]Habib mazah.

[40:35]Habib mazah was in Kufa during that time.

[40:38]And Kufa was blocked off.

[40:38]So they made it so that no one can leave Kufa.

[40:43]And it's during that time that he writes this letter towards him.

[40:46]And Hhabib wasn't even aware about where Hussein was until he received

[40:50]this letter.

[40:51]When this letter from Hussein arrives to his house, at that time

[40:55]he was having breakfast with his wife at his young son.

[41:00]He reads this letter after he reads it.

[41:02]He kisses it and tears are in his eyes and he kisses

[41:04]this letter.

[41:06]His wife asks him, "Yeah, what is this?

[41:09]Why?

[41:10]What's wrong?" Habib, he answers.

[41:11]He says, "I've received a letter from my master Hussein and he

[41:14]asked me to join him in Kabella.

[41:18]Yazid soldiers have surrounded him and they are after his life." And

[41:22]then Hhabib's wife, he says, "What?" He says, "Habib, your childhood friend

[41:26]has called you.

[41:26]Your master needs your help.

[41:29]What are you waiting for?

[41:30]Go Habib before it's too late." Cuz Habib at first he was

[41:33]worried.

[41:33]He says, "What am I supposed to do when leaving my child

[41:38]and my wife?" His wife says that if you do not leave,

[41:40]I myself will leave to go fight for him.

[41:43]So because of this, he's not worried any longer.

[41:46]He escapes from Kufa without being seen.

[41:49]And then he take instructs his slave to take his horse to

[41:53]a farm that's outside of the city.

[41:55]And he says, "Wait for him." So the slave does so.

[41:56]And then the slave, he took Habib's horse and he take he

[42:01]takes him to that farm.

[42:00]He waits for that master and his master is delayed.

[42:04]So then the slave, he says, "What?

[42:06]Oh horse, our mah Hussein is in trouble.

[42:10]He needs help and he's asked my master to join but is

[42:15]late.

[42:15]Oh horse, if he doesn't manage to escape Kufa, I'm going to

[42:19]ride you on you to go and help.

[42:22]So it's during time that most of the men they're in that

[42:26]and they're praying salah in a masid and he manages to reach

[42:28]that farm where his horse is waiting.

[42:32]He gets on his horse and he says to his slave.

[42:33]He says, "My friend, I'm freeing you from my service.

[42:38]Go and be free now.

[42:38]You can go ahead and leave." And then he says, "What?

[42:42]Master, you're not being fair." The slave says, "I've served you faithfully

[42:47]for so many years now.

[42:51]I have a chance to serve the son of Fat.

[42:54]Why are you taking this chance away from me?

[42:55]I want to go ahead.

[42:57]Are you denying me a place in heaven?" Habib was takenback by

[43:01]these boys by the slave and he was very happy to hear

[43:04]about this.

[43:05]So because of that they both got onto the horse.

[43:08]They mounted the horse and then they gallop towards Kvala.

[43:11]He reaches Kvala late in that evening and Hassan he's waiting for

[43:17]him and he and he greets him with great affection.

[43:20]She hears that Habib has come.

[43:23]She asks her made fiza to convey her meanings to Habib.

[43:25]When Habib heard that B Z has sent green ticks to him,

[43:30]he cries in grief and anger and he throws his turban and

[43:33]he puts sand onto his face.

[43:36]He slaps his face and tears are down his cheek.

[43:37]He says, "What a sad day.

[43:41]What has happened to the household of Fatima, the princess, the granddaughter

[43:44]of the holy prophet, the daughter of Ali and Fatima are sending

[43:49]their greetings toward an ordinary person like me.

[43:52]Yazid, you beast, you tyrant.

[43:56]What have you done to the household of Fatima?

[43:58]Days and nights they pass and Ash the day comes and at

[44:03]dawn he gives the adan and Yazid's army they blow the trumpets

[44:07]to begin the battle.

[44:10]And as we said we on the right side we had and

[44:15]on the left side the commander of the left wing of the

[44:17]army was mazah and the center was father abbas and then during

[44:23]that time we see that one by one hussein's companions they give

[44:28]their lives and they become martyrs.

[44:30]So Hussein Abbas and Ali Akbar they're busy from dawn to midday

[44:33]they go to collect the bodies and they bring them back from

[44:38]the battlefield.

[44:37]And it's during that time between and that he comes to Hussein.

[44:45]He says, "Oh my master Hussein, allow me to go onto that

[44:48]battlefield.

[44:49]Let me sacrifice my life for Islam." And he imus he says,

[44:54]"Habib, my childhood friend, stay with me.

[44:57]Give me comfort, my friend." But Habib, he persists with this request.

[45:01]And eventually, Im Hussein, he gives this permission.

[45:04]So, Habib, he mounts his horse and on top of this horse,

[45:08]he goes ahead and he rides into battle and he fights bravely,

[45:11]but he's finally he's overpowered and he falls to that ground.

[45:16]And in that moment, he falls onto the ground and he couldn't

[45:21]even breathe.

[45:23]And in that moment, he cried [Music] me.

[45:33]Come to me, oh my master, one more time.

[45:37]Imm Hussein, he comes and then he puts his head onto his

[45:43]lap.

[45:44]And in those last moments, his breathing his final breath.

[45:47]Im Hussein, he says, "Habi, what a friend you've been to me.

[45:54]I bear witness that you stayed up night and all night you've

[45:57]worshiped Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and you've prayed towards him.

[46:01]And it's in that time that when Im Hussein leaves the army

[46:06]they go ahead and they cut off his head during that time.

[46:08]And then during that time their heads they're all cut off.

[46:13]But Hhabib was the first to be cut off by the enemy.

[46:15]But during that time we can see that Habib's head he's not

[46:20]put on a spear.

[46:20]Our narration say that Habib's head it's put around the neck of

[46:26]a horse.

[46:25]And it's during that time that it's being pulled onto the streets

[46:29]of Sha.

[46:29]And later in Sham we see that during that time the army

[46:34]they're taking these heads in the streets of Sham and there is

[46:37]a son that's running and who is this?

[46:39]This is Kasim the son of Habibasim.

[46:42]Sheasim he goes towards this and he he takes his for source

[46:47]and he's following his father's head.

[46:49]And then we see during that time the man he asks what

[46:52]are you doing?

[46:54]Why are you following me around?

[46:54]Kasim says the man he stares at that head he asks again

[47:01]why are you staring at this head?

[47:03]He says this head is the head of my father.

[47:06][Music] Please give it to me.

[47:10]I want to bury my father's head.

[47:11]And it's in that moment, it's as if Hadib's head is talking

[47:16]to his son.

[47:16]He says, "What?" He says, "What?" Habib's head.

[47:20]He's It's as if he's saying to him, he says, "My son,

[47:24]you think of bearing my head, but what about the head of

[47:30]on those spears?

[47:34]Oh my son, you are my you are my war.

[47:38]It's because of you that you can bury my head.

[47:41]It's because of you that you will be able to bury my

[47:47]head.

[47:47]But there exists the world is Imam and to him there are

[47:52]18 heads on the spears of his family.

[47:56]What about their heads?

[47:56]And what about him as the Verily we are from Allah and

[48:19]surely to him we'll return Allah with these tears that we have
